This is a design issue. You do what you want. I have seen both bedrooms on 1 circuit with the lights and receptacles together. You can put the recep. & lights on a 20 amp circuit or you can split the recep. and lights to 2 circuits. In a typical 3 bedroom home I put the recep for the 2 bedrooms on one circuit, the master bedroom on one circuit and all the lights on the 3rd circuit but that is just my choice.When doing new contruction, do you put the lights and receptacles in the bedrooms on a 15 or a 20 amp circuit. I want to share one arc-fault with two bedrooms.

Why are the power needs of a master bedroom assumed to be more than another bedroom?
Why are the power needs of a master bedroom assumed to be more than another bedroom?
It almost always has the most toys.
Actually is no good reason
Old habit. Years ago I did many passive solar houses and people often ended up with a portable heater. I used to put each bedroom on a separate circuit. Now I don't really want 3 room together so the master seems to be the place to split them up.Why are the power needs of a master bedroom assumed to be more than another bedroom?
